Alpha Seduced By His Assassin

They meet again

Arianna's POV

I stalked off angrily towards the gym area and started with the punching bag. I did not bother changing once again.

I kept hitting the bag as angry courses through me. Thinking of the person who tipped us off. Once I get my hand on that person, I will make sure to make them pay for the losses he or she has caused us.

"Hit" after "Hit" at the punching bag, but still my anger was nowhere near to calm down. I was breathing hard. My heart pumping furiously. I did not know how much time had passed as all my focus was to keep my mind away from the thing that happened.

"Stop" I did not pay attention to the voice and kept hitting. After sometime the person held the bag.

"You are going to hurt yourself" I heard hi as he pulled the bag away. My eyes turned into slit when I saw who was holding the punching bag which I had been hitting on. It was none other than the guy whom Sergio had brought with him.

"What the hell are you still doing here?" I snapped at him.

"That does not matter at the moment. The main concern is your fingers" he said as he took my hands and checked my fist which was still right. He pried them open.

I roughly pulled my hand away.

"I asked you something" I growled at him.

"I heard you the first time" he said. My eyes narrowed at him.

"I was waiting for you" he added.

"I am not going to train you" i muttered.

"I did not say about that" he says.

"I doubt that you had something else to say" I pointed out.

"I want to you to train me" he says. I looked heavenwards.

"Right now I am not in the mood to talk with anyone" I muttered and walked past him.

I could hear his footsteps following me "Your hands need to be tended" he says falling in step beside me. I ignored him and walked in fast pace. He did keep up with me until I reached my office. Diego was assistant on his desk. Diego knows that whenever I am in this kind of mood, it is better to leave me alone. That is why he did not disturb me.

As I walked past his desk, I say "Get rid of this guy for me, will you?" he looked alert. I did not see what he did because I entered my office and locked the office door. I breathed deeply and walked towards the sofa. Checking my fingers, I saw that they were minor cuts and nothing much which will heal in no time. They were bleeding but pain is nothing new to me. I cleaned my small cuts and wounds. Once I had applied some bandages, I got up and asked Lisa to come to my office.

She walked in ten minutes later along with Sergio and Diego.

"So, did you guys found out who it is?" I asked no one in particular.

"It is Ryder ofcourse" said Sergio with an angry look.

I breathed deeply, my fist clenched tightly.

Sergio looked at my hands and shook his head at me in disappointment "Hurting your ownself will not solve anything" he stated. I ignored his comment.

"I should have known that Ryder likes to play dirty. He has always been like that" I muttered.

"What did Officer Ron say?" I inquired.

"Ron is sent to some other city for the time being. This new officer is very strict. He is here to close all the illegal business and stuff like that" Diego explained to me.

"What did Ron suggest?" I asked.

"He has said that we need to just keep the training but no illegal matches for another one month" Lisa informs me.

"He also said that this new officer, once he gets on to something, he won't stop until he has done his job. So we have to be careful. After one month or so, officer Ron will be back" she added.

"Why the hell did Officer Ron not inform about this prior?" I banged the table angrily.

They are used to my anger, so no one reacted.

"It has not even two days since the change. If was sudden" muttered Diego.

"Very well. We shall keep it low for the time being. I will see what I have to do with Ryder" I added.

"I will be coming with you, if you are going to confront him" says Sergio.

"I can take care of it myself" I said.

"I don't doubt that. I will be coming whether you like it or not" he states which broke no room for argument.

"Fine" I said. There was a smile on Lisa's and Diego's face.

"What?" I raised my eyebrows at them. Both of them were quick to conceal their expression. Sergio chuckled and got up.

"is that all?" he asks.

"I have one more thing to say" I muttered. He takes his seat back.

"What is that guy's name, whom you brought along with you?" I asked him.

He looked confused at first before he remembered "Ric?" he asked me. I have him a nod.

"Yeah, what about him?" he gives me a confused look.

"I am sure you heard about what happened today earlier morning" I stated.

"I have heard" he nods at me.

"Get him off my back. I am not going to train him. And I want him out of the club" I let him know.

"Even if you don't train him, i have a request" says Sergio.

I looked at him.

"I will keep him. I see myself in him when I was younger of his age. Struggling and wanting to be strong" murmured Sergio.

Now I understood why I saw him around.

"Fine. But keep him away from me. For th time being, I will observe him and see if he is worth it" I let him know.

He smiles at me "Thanks"

"Don't wory Ari, I will make sure he won't follow you like a lost puppy" teased Diego.

"It is not even been twenty four hours" I pointed out.

"He is attracted towards you" he wriggled his eyebrows to me.

I rolled my eyes at him "I have no time for such nuisance" I muttered and took out a file. I could see Lisa and Sergio also smiling at that.

"If there is nothing else, you guys may leave" I say.

All three of them got out and walked out, leaving me alone to my thoughts. I went through the files and checked the accounts of this month. Everything was cleared. The report of today's match will be here by evening.

Now that there will be no matches for the time being, I will have free time in my hands. I need to think of something to occupy my mind.

It was already five in the evening when I decided to return home.

Mom and little Liana were sitting in the living room when I entered our home.

"Sis" smiles Liana and gives me quick hug.

"Hi mom" I greet mom with a quick buss on the cheek.

"You are early today" said mom as I took a seat on the sofa opposite her.

"Yeah. The work was over" I muttered. She raised her eyebrows at me understand my tone. I let out a sigh. I printed towards Liana who was happily watching cartoons on the television. She nods at me.

"Do you want some coffee?" mom asks

"No mom. I will just go and take a short nap" I inform her.

"Okay" she nods at me. I got up and walked towards my bedroom. I was dead tired. Changing into my t shirt and night pants, i layed down on the bed. My mind elsewhere.

Tomorrow the first thing I will be doing is confront that asshole. He better have a good explanation or I will have to take extreme measures.

I turned sideways and thought about I am going to do as I have got lot of time in my hands. now that only the gym is open, Sergio and Diego will looks after the trainers.

'What to do?' my mind was thinking of ways.

I need some change in my daily routine. I better take up a job to get my mind out of things.

This is the best option. Once I am done with the Ryder issue, the first thing I will do is go job hunting. This way, my time will be occupied. Lisa will also be free as both the brothers can look after the gym on their own. I give her leave so that she can spend sometime for herself. She will be happy. I am sure Sergio would want her to rest and relax. With that last thought in my mind, I drifted off to sleep.

Gio's POV

The trap which they had set for me, they failed. I am sure it was none other than that fucker Lorenzo Costa. He was the one who bribed man and made him think that I hurt his family and that is why they are not alive today. The man had spoken up at last. One weeks torture was enough for himfo open his mouth.

I walked inside th club that evening. I was going to meet Stefano today. He was the man who took care of me and treated me like his own family. I will be forever grateful to him.

I am the main head around Italy. We are total three members. Stefano is around his mind fifties and is only available while there are important matters to discuss.

I was right now in the VIP lounge along with Marco waiting for the three partners to turn up.

Not even ten minutes had passed when the bothers Luca and Alberto entered the VIP lounge.

"Giovanni" greets Luca. I greet him back. Alberto on the other hand just nods at me. We are cordial with each other. Most of the time, I and Alberto don't see eye to eye on many things. He hates and Luca both hate the fact that Stefano chose me as his successor despite being with partners with them from a long time.

I did not sit well with them. Losing to someone younger to them and also who had just now entered the Mafia world, they were not happy with the decision. But they could do nothing. I have done many things than they ever did in this world. I have made a name for myself.

Luca handles the Rome drug cartels. Alberto looks after the shipments. I own the club's and look overall everything. If there is delay in shipment, Alberto has to hear from me.

Both of them do their job well. But they are too shady and can backstab me anytime. Stefano has always warned me about them. I made sure to always be alert when they are around.

I come out of my thoughts when I feel a hand up my thigh. I frowned and come face to face with none other than Beatrice.

I pushed her hand away from my person.

"Keep your hands to yourself Beatrice" I muttered darkly.

All she did was smirk at me. I saw Stefano entering. I get up and greet him with a hug. This also helped me change my place which did not go unnoticed by anyone sitting around the table. She looked disappointed. I ignored her.

"How are you doing my boy?" Stefano pats me on the back.

"Never been better" I pass him a small smile which is only for him and few specific close people.

"Good good. That's good" he nods at me.

"So, I heard there was an attack on you" it was Alberto who spoke.

I snapped my head in his direction. I felt as if a saw a slight twitch of his lips. "There is no asshole on this earth who can trap me" I smirked at him. His lips tightened into thin line

"I am sure" he muttered. Luca was just staring at me and not saying anything.

"I am sure you have caught the traitor" said Stefano.

"What do you think?" I asked instead.

"I expect nothing less from you" Stefano said as he pats me on the shoulder.

"He gave the name?" asks Stefano looking pleased. I was about to reply when I hear a voice.

"What would be your order Sir?" All our head snapped in the direction of the voice. My eyes widened in surprise as I saw who it was. It was a waitress wearing a black knee length skirt and white shirt which was tucked. Her hairs were in high pony tail. She was also the same girl who helped me during the attack.

"Don't you know that this meeting is private?" I growled angrily.

She looked up at my voice and her eyes widened when they connected with mine. She was shocked to find me here.

"Who hired you?" I asked her.

Right then the manager walked in. He was new as well. The last one was traitor after all so we had to get a new manager for the club.

"Boss, I am sorry" the manager apologized.

"Marco, why was he not informed what happens around here?" I turn to my right hand man.

"He has been informed already. He is new here. Give him another chance" Marco insists. I breathed deeply and turned to new manager. All this while, the girl was staring at me and everything that was happening with open mouth.

"Boss, it is my fault. It won't happen again" the manager apologized.

"Fine" I muttered. He looked relieved. I turn to the waitress "I did not get your name" I state. Beatrice looked surprised because I never ask anyone of their name.

"Arianna, Sir" she replies.

"You may leave now. Don't disturb us and send our regular waiter" I inform her. With that she walks away along with the manager.

"Someone is interested" said Luca.

"She is no one important" I said to him.

I did not want attention on her as it could be dangerous for her.

"She definitely knows you" pointed Alberto.

"So?" I asked through clecnhed teeth.

"If you are behaving this way, there is definitely a story" he stated.

I let out a sigh. Alberto and Luca are someone who always poke their nose where it is not required. Even though they no it that I don't like it, they do it purposely just to make me angry.

"She was the girl who helped during the trap last time" was all I said.

"That's interesting" Muttered Luca and Alberto did not say anything. After that I turn to Stefano.

"It is that fucker Lorenzo" I muttered angrily. my fist clenched tightly.

Few cursed left Stefano's mouth after hearing our arch rivals name.

"He is becoming too much of an hindrance. We have to get him before he tries anything like this once again" said Stefano.

"I am already on it" I assure him.

"Good" He nods at me in approval. Our drinks were placed by another waiter.

"What happened to our delayed cartel?" I asked Luca.

"The cops there were delaying foe extra charge. It is sorted now" he informs me.

"What about the women who were shipped off by Lorenzo and his group?" I asked Alberto.

"We could not save them" he mutters.

"How the hell did you let them get away" I banged the table angrily.

"Do you know that just because your one silly mistake, those women will suffer" I snapped at him angrily.

"Those are just women. Nothing difference to them as they will have the same life hear" he stated. My eyes narrowed into slits. Stefano stopped me from replying. I was still seething angry.

"Those women as you say Alberto" Starts Stefano in his hard voice "Would not have had the same treatment here which they will suffer worst under Lorenzo's hands. We give those women their choice. They are much safer here"

"Have you forgotten our rules?" Stefano glared at him.

Alberto looked deeply humiliated as I had shouted at him in front of everyone. He did not like the fact that Stefano sided with him. He should understand to differentiate between the right and wrong.

"I remember them" he replies.

"Then why the hell would you not work accordingly" Stefano glared at Alberto.

"Boss, Alberto was out of it for sometime. I wi make sure it does not repeat the next time" Luca tried to cover for his brother.

My eyes narrowed in his direction "You have already lost those women. The next time won't matter because you have caused those women to suffer" I stated. He did not reply but I could feel that the reply was on tip of his tongue which he held back.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave now" said Alberto.

We dont say anything. Both the brothers stalked out of the VIP lounge and downstairs. Soon they were out of the club with their men.

"Calm down Gio" Stefano says to me.

"How can they be so careless?" I asked him in disbelief.

"Now you know why I chose you over them" he stated.

"If I had chosen one of them then things would have been worst over here. I am glad you did more than my expectations" he says in an approving tone.

"I have worked under you. I will never disappoint you Stefano" I said to him.

"I know that son" he nods at me.

Stefano cares for me like his own son. Even though after what happened in past, he stood by me. I am forever grateful to him.

We were just having a drink when we hear some shouts downstairs. I get up and walk towards the balcony only to see Beatrice was insulting the new waitress.

The waitress Arianna was looking angrily at Beatrice. I breathed heavenward.

"She is already on it" Stefano muttered from beside me.

"You are going or should I handle it?" he inquired as he looked at the commotion.

"I will handle it' I said.

"Very well" there was resigned sigh from his side before I went downstairs.

"What the he is going on here?" I asked to no one particular

"Gio, look at this bloody waitress, she stained my new dress" pouts Beatrice as she clunged to me. I discretely extracted her arms of me.

"I did say it was an accident" mutters the waitress.

"Shut up you b***h" Beatrice snapped at the waitress, Arianna. The waitress took a deep breath.

"It takes one to know one" she replied. My eyes widened in surprise. Marco was cought from beside me in turn to hide his laugh. Beatrice on the other hand, I could feel smoke coming out of her hears. Before she could do more damage and gets humiliated, I turn to the waitress.

"Know your place" I say to her. Her mouth dropped open. She was about to reply when I stay her with my hand.

"Get back to work" I stated. My voice broke no room for argument. She looked from me to Beatrice who once again has placed her arm in mine. Beatrice looked smug when I took her side. What she does not know is that I did not want her to trouble the new waitress and make her target whenever she visits here. This is best way to handle it.

The waitress stalked off angrily.

I pulled Beatrice away from the crowd.

"Stop creating trouble in my clubs Beatrice. Next time if you keep repeating this kind of nuisance,. will ban your entry" I warned her.

"Marco, escort her out. Will you?" without waiting for his reply, I stalked off and reached the VIP lounge

"That was the best way to handle it" says Stefano the moment I reached him.

"You know Beatrice. She will keep coming here to see if that new waitress is a threat" he reminds me.

I snort "There is nothing going on. She is new and someone who is not in direct contact with me. Anyway, whatever I d with my life is none of her business. Beatrice should get it through her head and leave me the hell alone" I say through clecnhed teeth.

"One day she will get over her obsession" he assures me.

"It is getting dangerous. If she does not stop them I will have to remind her of the past" I say to him.

"Give her sometime" was all he said.

"I only tolerate her because of you otherwise she would have known what it is to deal with me" I let him know.

He lets out a sigh "How I wish I could help you in this matter" he says in a low murmur.

I let out a sigh and turn to him "I am sorry to burst my anger on you" I apologised.

"I Understand Gio. Now I will be leaving" he says and walks away leaving me alone with my thoughts.
